More great Bratwurst milestones: reviews in Petits Propos Culinaires, The Oldie and a Sunday Times Food Book of the Year

If this was a tweet, it would include the hashtag #veryhappyauthor: my Bratwurst book kid is indeed doing very well out there in the big wide world. In October the genial Tom Jaine included a very generous review in the latest issue of the classic Petits Propos Culinaires, November saw Elisabeth Luard writing about it in that charmingly British magazine The Oldie, complete with recipes and one of her lovely drawings.

There were so many great characters to discover! But this is the kind of luxury problem Heinzelcheese enjoys, and as you seemed to be pretty clear a few days ago on your favorite, the cheese of the month is… Montébore! » Weiterlesen…

Cheese Berlin 2014! Nov 2nd!! At Markthalle Neun!!!

And the cheese goes on… the first Sunday in November was a big day: cheese was reigning high at Markthalle Neun. From 11am till 7pm we’ve been celebrating the third annual Cheese Berlin with old friends such as the Rheingau-Affineur and Fritz Blomeyer, market mongers like Menze and Knippenberg as well as regional producers (Capriolenhof, Pimpinelle, Ogrosen…), and others who had to travel a little longer, from the Allgäu, England, Sweden, Spain… » Weiterlesen…
